Hello. My name is Momo. I’m a mother of two who is passionate about home-made, Japanese cooking. I come from a small village in Japan where everything moves very slowly, where everyone knows everybody else and everyone else’s business, and where everyone seems to grow their own vegetables!

I grew up eating seasonal vegetables donated to my father’s temple, and they were cooked beautifully by my mother (an experimental cook) and grandmother (a traditional cook) who is now 98 years old! They are the ones who taught me how to cook and present food.

I love what food brings to families – conversation, laughter, debate etc. It’s the place where a family gets together, which has always been a big part of my life.
